Well, we have had quite a day. This morning was spent cleaning and getting the house ready for our second post placement visit for Emma. Our new social worker came and asked a bunch of questions about Emma 's adjustment and she confirmed that Emma was doing very well in our home. We then officially started our homestudy for Chloe. We also got a wonderful surprise, a picture of Chloe. We do not know any more information, but we now have a face to our precious daughter. As you can image my emotions are all over the place tonight. Reality is really starting to set in that our family of four will soon be a family of five. The process does seem like it will be a bit easier in terms of paperwork as long as we do not have the immigration problems like we had with Emma. We are delighted that we got a picture, but most of you know that after the picture is the hardest part of the wait. I am just so humbled that God has chosen me to be the mother of these three amazing children. I am actually posting the first pictures we got of Samuel, Emma, and Chloe.

It is always hard jumping back into a blog post because there is always so much that has happened since the last time that I posted. We have had a pretty major change in our family in the last month, but there is another sort of change that has inspired this post this morning. I cut my hair yesterday. I know life shattering isn't it? I know it seems so trivial, but the truth is the Lord revealed something to me that I have never really thought about. I love my hair. We have made some memories over my 39 years. It actually started the moment I was being born and the doctor told my mom that I had a full set of black hair. Given the fact that my brother and sister who came before me were both bald headed, I think my mom made a comment to the doctor about if he was sure I was hers. My very first compliment was about my hair! I lived my young life with nice thick hair. Sometimes it was long and sometimes it was cut short. My Pawpaw used to call me Pete Rose because I had the bowl cut ...
Congrats on getting a picture! I know how excited you must be. She is adorable!
